Richard Raiswell - Liberals and Abortion
The debate over abortion and access to abortion for PEI women has been volatile for decades. The fact that the right is legal and enshrined in the Constitution has not changed the access. Last week politics brought the issue to the forefront again when Liberal party leader, Justin Trudeau announced that in keeping with the party's pro-choice position, all candidates running in the next election must also be pro-choice.
That got our Political Columnist, Richard Raiswell thinking about the differences between the federal leader and PEI's Premier.
